Title: Veering and propulsion device of boat
Inventor: GAU JIN-SHING
IPC: B63H23/35
Filed: 2002-03-27
Granted: 2003-09-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a veering and propulsion device of a boat, especially one or more propulsion devices as required provided on the bottom of the ship, comprising a water flow propulsion pipe which includes one or more water inlet ports and relative water outlet ports, each water inlet port provided with a valve and each water outlet port provided with a propeller. The water flow propulsion pipe is mounted to a fixing disk at a lower end of a veering axle extending from inside of the boat to outside of the boat, and a gear is provided at the upper end of the veering axle. The gear is driven to rotate by a hydraulic motor to make the veering axle drive the water flow propulsion pipe to veer. A transmission shaft is provided in the axle bore of the veering axle for driving propeller in the water outlet port of the water flow propulsion pipe. By this design, the propeller in the water outlet port of each water flow propulsion pipe is driven by the transmission shaft, making water flow enter from the water inlet port at the front end and discharge through the water outlet port at the rear end, to form a more concentrated water flow thrust, thereby enhance propulsion efficiency. By using the veering axle to drive and control each water flow propulsion pipe to veer a proper angle in accordance with the desired propulsion direction, the water flow propulsion direction conforms to the desired advancing direction or veering direction of the boat, to make the boat advance in the desired direction. Moreover, the water flow propulsion pipe arranged at each position under the boat bottom can generate effective thrust at each position under the boat bottom, so that when the boat is advancing or encounters a surge, the advancing speed efficiency of the boat can be greatly enhanced by the characteristics of thrust generated at each different position under the boat bottom. The number of the operating water flow propulsion pipe can be adjusted properly in accordance with the actual ocean current, allowing only one or more performing propulsion, to achieve the object of effectively utilizing the thrust and saving energy consumption. Furthermore, by collocating the directions of each set of water flow propulsion pipe at the front and rear side, the minimum radius of veering of the boat can be achieved. Thus, the present invention is a highly inventive creation making use of technology thought of nature rules.

Title: Method and apparatus for processing video picture data for display on a display device
Inventor: THEBAULT CEDRIC
IPC: G09G3/28
Filed: 2002-05-09
Granted: 2004-03-21
Abstract: The invention is related to a new kind of dithering method for plasma display panels. In a former European patent application a dithering method for the plasma display technology has been presented that utilizes a 3-dimensional dither pattern for the repeated use in a video sequence. A first dimension corresponds to a number of video frames, a second dimension corresponds to a number of video lines, and a third dimension corresponds to a number of cells or pixels in a video line. It has been found that this dither pattern has for some video levels the drawback of a generating a noticeable pattern in homogenous surfaces on the screen that reduces the picture quality. In order to overcome this drawback the invention proposes a new degree of freedom for the dither pattern. Different dither patterns are provided for different entries in a number of least significant bits of the data word representing the input video level. The invention makes it possible to suppress the disturbing patterns occurring on the plasma screen when using the conventional dither patterns.

Title: System and method for routing voice over IP calls
Inventor: VASSILOVSKI DAN
IPC: H04L45/24
Filed: 2002-11-01
Granted: 2006-05-01
Abstract: An SIP server in an IP-based infrastructure supporting wireless telephones determines whether, based on the destination address in a call request, the call is an intrasystem call or an intersystem call. For intrasystem calls the SIP server routes VOIP packets directly between the originating and destination devices. For intersystem calls, however, and in particular encrypted calls, instead of routing the VOIP packets through the public Internet, the SIP server instantiates a circuit-switched call using a local modem bank connected to the PSTN. In this way, quality of service assurance is obtained and latency reduced.
